Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: This proposed rule making amends WAC 308-105-100 to prorate the EDL and EID fee to match the new renewal cycle.

Reasons Supporting Proposal: ESSB 6150 (2012) authorized the department to transition from a five-year driver's license and identicard renewal cycle to a six-year cycle. The bill prorated statutory driver's license and identicard fees accordingly. Under RCW 46.20.202(4), the additional fee for EDLs and EIDs are set by rule of the department.

The fee for an enhanced driver's license or enhanced identicard is ((fifteen))eighteen dollars. If the enhanced driver's license or enhanced identicard is issued, renewed, or extended for a period other than six years, the fee is three dollars for each year that the enhanced driver's license or enhanced identicard is issued, renewed, or extended. This fee is in addition to the regular drivers' license or identicard fees.
